Method for loading vehicle body with seats and robot hand for clamping seat

摘要

The robot hand has a holding unit with front and rear clamp claws and the holding unit can be inserted into a gap formed between the seat back and the seat cushion from the side of a front space existing ahead of the seat back and over the seat cushion. After the holding unit is inserted into the gap therebetween, the cylinder disposed in the holding unit is elongated to allow each of the clamp claws to assume its upright position, thereby holding the seat in three positions, i.e. at the bottom portion and the lower front and rear portions of the seat back.
